Emergency Services, Corrective Services & Youth Justice Centres
First Responders and correctional services environment presents unique challenges for workers who need to balance control with duty of care to keeping themselves safe. Aggressive and violent behaviour not only threatens employee well-being but also impacts the safety and rehabilitation efforts. Our ADP Training Framework offers a robust solution to these pressing issues.
Our framework is designed to equip all first responders, correctional officers and staff with essential skills to manage and de-escalate potentially violent situations, and also focus on protection and the use of non punitive physical restraints which are implement under certain conditions. By focusing on prevention, behaviour management and response strategies, we aim to create safer work environments and foster a culture of respect between inmates and staff. This approach not only enhances employee safety but also contributes to improved inmate behaviour and overall facility security.
